• Seven years of internal or external audit experience in a complex environment with at least one year at a supervisory or management level. At least three years leading audit engagements, supervising staff, or overseeing co-sourced audit work is preferred.

• Knowledge of internal audit standards, internal controls, risk assessment, and risk-based audit planning, with familiarity with healthcare reimbursement, privacy and security, research compliance, and other key risk areas in academic medical centers.
• Experience leading financial, operational, compliance, and technology-related audits in a healthcare or other highly regulated environment.
• Experience directing audit work across both internal staff and co-sourced resources.
• Ability to communicate clearly in writing and verbally, including presenting to and working effectively with all levels of management and executive leadership.
